Agenda and Assignments

Over the years, the O.U.R. Children’s Safety Project has both shared and developed an enormous amount of data, insights and resources. All of this information can be overwhelming at times. This session will focus on the first step to success, i.e., the first thing we must do to enhance the safety and success of our children at school.

Agenda

  1. What is the Vook Club? The virtual book club ("Vook Club") is a curated list of books, videos and other materials for parents and professionals highlighting topics of child safety and knowledge of protective factors, often in a kid-friendly way, and our regular discussions on new materials to add.
  2. Prepare to be delighted with a paired activity for I Am Peace: A Book of Mindfulness by Susan Verde from the “I Am” Book Series by our very own Bright Spot, Ruby Sewell. 
  3. We'll share what is on our "This Summer I Will" list to further the O.U.R. Project efforts for ourselves and others the Vook Club’s new summer reads.

*What is O.U.R. Children Safety Project - (Observe, Understand, and Respond)?

Hands & Voices has created a Community of Learners, comprised of parents, family members, and professionals, to explore and develop activities that will work to increase the safety and success of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. This welcoming and inclusive community of learners values participation from Hands & Voices leadership including GBYS and ASTra program staff. Through discussion and critical reflection, the group focuses on issues to increase awareness and understanding surrounding the prevention of child maltreatment for deaf, hard of hearing, and Deaf/hard of hearing Plus children and disseminates our learning to our network and families.
